    The original medieval church from the 12th century was located on the same site as the current church. The church was very small and had a thatched roof until 1830 and a belfry, at the end of the period the bell was hung in the attic.

According to information in the town, the clock in the 18th century had been completely shattered "by untimely ringing and coming by some of the parish's servants", who in the following an old custom within the parish to give up and sing on midsummer (or Christmas) evening. on the clock with sticks. At the expense of the servants, the clock in Malmö was turned over by Andreas Wetterholtz in 1765 No 313.
